Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Katharina Grosse, from the "Fiction" episode in the seventh season of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.
"Fiction" premiered in November 2014 on PBS.
Katharina Grosse creates wildly colorful sculptural environments and paintings that unite the fluid perception of landscape with the ordered hierarchy of painting. Her work is a material record-a story-and, perhaps, an inscription of her thoughts, or an illusion.
Grosse uses boat building techniques to create monumental abstract sculptures for display at Brooklyn’s Metrotech Plaza, while at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, she adds layers of paint to a room filled with soil as a painted sculpture pierces through the building’s architecture. Shown at work in her Berlin studio, Grosse leads viewers through the project I Think This Is a Pine Tree (2013) at the Hamburger Bahnhof.
